I would keep them separate: “AAA roundtable” and “indie roundtable”.

Thanks guys for the suggestion. I’ll start gathering indies (feel free to contact them, and ask them to contact me). Thanks guys for the suggestion.

Interview with successful indie producers/developers is something I will be willing to read. jcottier : In other words game producer is the captain of the ship and his crew do the dirty work ;)

In the professionnal game industry a producer doesn't make games. A producer is making sure that a project is on track for it deadlines, and deal with schedule and other utterly boring things like this (to make it short). A producer doesn't deal with artwork, design, gameplay, coding, testing... Well, a producer as nothing to do with the creative part of the job if you see what I mean. JC Hi,

I think there's probably a bigger audience in showing how to make games without having to spend 2 years in QA, 3 as an AP, 5 as a producer, then maybe get to be involved in a community design process. Also, much has been written about how this model tends to produce very conservative, mildly iterative games, we can build off that with concrete examples of doing it fresh and on your own, and what the benefits are. Then there's the other two flux points, distribution and business model. Granted, its tough to make an indie game and sell it online, but there are wholly new pastures available on the net, and the costs to play are not so high. Think about it.
